Circo girls' bobbie socks from Target - Product recall

The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission has announced the recall of more than three hundred thousand sets of Circo Rosette Bobbie Socks sold exclusively by Target, of Minneapolis, Minnesota, due to a potential choking hazard. The socks were sold in packs of six for about six dollars from January 2007 through July 2008.

The socks feature a ribbon which can detach and could be swallowed by a small child. Target has received four reports of the ribbons coming loose; thankfully, there have been no injuries. If you have any of these socks, take them away from your children and return them to the nearest Target for a full refund. For additional information, contact Target at (800) 440-0680 between 7 a.m. and 6 p.m. CT Monday through Friday, or visit the firm's Web site at www.target.com.

Foster Farms Battles Insurers Over Definition Of 'Recall'Foster Farms and its London insurers are facing off over the definition of "product recall" as the poultry producer seeks payment of $14.2 million in claims arising from a government-mandated shutdown of one of its plants, court documents show.
